UGatsha Oluvela KuJese
1 Ihlumela lizavela esidindini sikaJese;
uGatsha oluhlume empandeni zakhe luzathela izithelo.
2 UMoya kaThixo uzakuba phezu kwakhe,
uMoya wokuhlakanipha lowokuqedisisa,
uMoya wokweluleka lowamandla,
uMoya wokwazi lowokwesaba uThixo,
3 njalo uzathokoziswa yikwesaba uThixo.
Kayikwahlulela ngalokho akubona ngamehlo akhe,
loba aqume ngalokho akuzwa ngendlebe zakhe;
4 kodwa abaswelayo uzabehlulela ngokulunga
athathe izinqumo ngabayanga basemhlabeni ngokulunga.
Uzatshaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe;
ngomoya wendebe zakhe uzabulala ababi.
5 Ukulunga kuzakuba libhanti lakhe,
ukwethembeka kube luzwezwe ekhalweni lwakhe.
6 Impisi izahlala lezinyane lemvu,
ingwe izalala phansi lembuzi,
ithole kanye lesilwane kudle ndawonye;
umntwana omncane akukhokhele.
7 Inkomokazi izakudla lebhele,
amankonyane akho alale ndawonye;
njalo isilwane sizakudla utshani njengenkabi.
8 Usane luzadlalela phansi komlindi webululu,
umntwana omncane angenise isandla sakhe
emlonyeni womlindi wenhlangwana.
9 Abayikulimaza loba badilize
kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele,
ngoba umhlaba uzagcwala ngolwazi lukaThixo
njengamanzi egcwalisa ulwandle.
10 Ngalolosuku iMpande kaJese izakuma njengophawu ebantwini; izizwe zizabuthana kuye, indawo yakhe yokuphumula izakuba lodumo. 11 Ngalolosuku uThixo uzakwelula isandla sakhe okwesibili ukuba abuyise insalela zabantu bakhe abasala e-Asiriya, eGibhithe, ePhathrosi, eTiyopiya, eKhushi, e-Elamu, eShinari, eHamathi lasezihlengeni zolwandle.
12 Uzaphakamisela izizwe uphawu
aqoqe abaxotshwayo ko-Israyeli.
Uzahlanganisa abantu bakoJuda abahlakazekileyo
bevela emagumbini amane omhlaba.
13 Ubukhwele buka-Efrayimi buzaphela,
izitha zikaJuda zizaqunywa;
u-Efrayimi akayikukhwelezela uJuda,
kumbe uJuda abe lobutha ku-Efrayimi.
14 Bazahwitha phansi emithezukweni yaseFilistiya ngasentshonalanga;
bebonke bazaphanga abantu basempumalanga.
Bazanqoba i-Edomi leMowabi lama-Amoni
azakuba ngaphansi kwabo.
15 UThixo uzacitsha
umsele wolwandle lwaseGibhithe,
ngomoya otshisayo uzadlulisa isandla sakhe
phezu komfula uYufrathe.
Uzawahlukanisa ube yizifula eziyisikhombisa
ukuze abantu bawuchaphe befake amanyathelo.
16 Kuzakuba lomgwaqo omkhulu wezinsalela zabantu bakhe
abasele e-Asiriya,
njengoba kwakunjalo ko-Israyeli
ekubuyeni kwabo bevela eGibhithe.
